Summary: The Cay book review
Review: Brendan Kutler
Theodore Taylor's The Cay, an adventure/survivial story, is one book that requires only one thing for you to love it... have a pulse! The story starts when Phillip and his mom want to avoid World War Two on the island called Curaco, where they now live and go back to the U.S. But instead of geting to safety their ship is torpedoed. That's when Phillip is blinded by a blow to the head and pulled on to a raft by Timothy, A sixty to seventy year old man and Stew, the chef's cat. They ate then cast upon a cay, and even Timothy is not sure where they are.
While Phillip is learning about getting around by feeling with a cane that Timothy made him, Timothy is building a shelter and getting food. He is also teaching Philllip how to fish and Phillip thinks there is a good reason for this. Taylor's descriptive style makes The Cay a must-read for everyone from eight to eighty years old.

Summary: The Cay
Review: "The Cay" Book Review
In the book The Cay, by Theodore Taylor that we read in our literature circle groups is a very thrilling book. This book is about a boy that his boat gets hit by a torpedo and sinks. Phillip the main character and his mom run off to different lifeboats and get separated. While he is on the lifeboat he wakes up to find himself with a black man. Later, the next day he becomes blind. The next day they get to the island and life just starts to begin there. I liked The Cay because of the adventure that it displays in the text. One part of the book that displays the adventure is when they first come to the island. Phillip is also a young boy and he does not know the outside world of Curacoo. This makes it an adventure because he does not know were he is going. And Curacoo is a very small island in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico. I also liked this book because of its language. The book used different language used by Timothy. Timothy is the person that Phillip saw on the boat and spends his rest of his life with. Instead of using regular words like how we speak English. Timothy puts a little of a twist on his words. Those are some of the reasons why I liked The Cay.

Summary: A book filled with Racist Undertones
Review: I think this book is not a book for 11 year olds to read. This book is full of racist interjections, the description of Timothy, the fact that Phillip decides at some point he is superior to Timothy. The fact that they even say that his mother says blacks have THEIR PLACE. Sure this book had a moral , but it was lost in the negative parts, Timothy at some points spoke decent English then all of a sudden he could not speak English and went into a dialect that no one speaks but the author. Dr. King would have turned over in his grave at this book.
